It has been one full week since Ryan has made it officially to the house. On Friday March 25th Ryan, Danielle and our sister in law, Kelly, made it into Boise at about 7 pm. We left the airport and went directly to the ER in Boise. Ryan was suffering from dehydration, malnutrition and RSV. So the admitted her and she spent her first two nights in the US at the children's hospital in Boise.
She was released one week ago Sunday and finally made it home. Needless to say she regressed somewhat, and I can't blame her. She was tired, hungry, people were in her business poking, prodding, checking, re-checking for 48 straight hours.
I can say that one week on now and she has really come around. I will say at 13 pounds and 28 inches long, she is a peanut. We are slowly introducing hew foods to her and last night she ate mashed potatoes and we are slowing trying to keep new things coming and move from the bottle.
Today we did have her cardiology appointment and finished the day with a visit to the pediatrician. The cardiologist is encouraged and is optimistic that she is a candidate for surgery. She did say that it is typical to wait 8-12 weeks post RSV before surgery, however given the circumstances she is going to push us for the end of April. Will keep you posted on the surgery front.
The pediatrician is keeping Ryan on a nebulizer (sp?) that will administer meds to help relieve the RSV symptoms.
Ryan had a busy day and was great to be able to take the day off and be there for the "big" appointments.
I am giving myself a goal of one posting per week. We will see how that goes.
More to come.
By the way, this picture is the first picture with all three girls and it was the night we got out of the hospital and finally home.
